The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals or SPCA and their Los Angeles chapter have partnered with PetSmart to collect food and pet care items for abandoned and abused animals housed at spcaLA.

This past weekend, the PetsSmart at 3855 Sepulveda Blvd. in Torrance was one of nine locations to participate in the PetSmart Give Back Initiative. Some shoppers and residents dropped off items. Others purchased items on-site to donate.

Donated items included and canned foods, treats and durable dog toys.

If you missed this collection and would like to donate you can find a list of items needed. Go to www.spcaLA.com.
